J&Ks population growth continues to slow: SRS Bulletin
Srinagar, May 21:The latest Sample Registration System (SRS) Bulletin released by the Registrar General of India on May 20 has recorded a natural growth rate of 9.2 per 1000 population in J&K for 2024. This is lower than the national average of 11.9. The figures indicate that J&K is steadily moving towards slower population growth, demonstrating declining birth rates and also relatively low mortality rate. The SRS Bulletin has calculated J&Ks birth rate at 14.6 per 1000 population in 2024, significantly lower than Indias average of 18.3. The death rate in J&K has been calculated as 5.5, also lower than the national figure of 6.4. This yields the natural growth rate of 9.2. Growth rate is calculated as the difference between birth and death rates, and remains moderate in J&K compared to many northern states. Compared to larger states and UTs, J&Ks natural growth rate is significantly lower than Bihar (20.8), Uttar Pradesh (17.2), Rajasthan (17.0), and Madhya Pradesh (15.8). However, it is significantly higher than Kerala (3.9), Tamil Nadu (4.8), and Punjab (6.5), states of India that are further ahead in demographic transition graph. There is a stark difference between the growth rate of J&Ks urban and rural areas. While the rural J&K recorded a higher natural growth rate of 10.3, the urban areas stood at 6.7, comparable to the slowest growing states of India. This points towards sharper demographic transition in towns and cities. Among bigger states and UTs, the growth rate of 6.7 of urban J&K is the fifth lowest in India. Only Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Odidha recorded lower urban natural growth rate. J&K is among better-performing states and UTs in infant mortality indicators, as per the bulletin. The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) stood at 14 deaths per 1000 live births in 2024, much lower than the national average of 24. While urban J&K recorded an IMR of 12, the rural areas fared poorer with IMR of 15. Overall the decline in IMR reflects J&Ks improved maternal and child healthcare outcomes. Demographers are of the opinion that the declining birth rate and moderating population growth have long-term social and economic implications. The slower growth reduces pressure on land, urban infrastructure, public services and employment scenario. This is significant for a place like J&K that is already constrained by geography and limited industrial expansion. At the same time, experts also caution that sustained fertility decline eventually alters population age profile. The increasing share of elderly population and shrinking the proportion of young working-age groups over time is an outcome of declined growth rate that needs long-term policy planning. The rural-urban gap in birth rates also exemplifies the changing lifestyles, higher education levels, delayed marriages in J&K. It also shows greater access to healthcare and family planning services in urban areas. While rural J&K continues to record higher fertility and growth levels than urban areas, it matches broader national trends. The SRS Bulletin is one of Indias most important demographic datasets. It forms the basis for estimating fertility, mortality and population trends between censuses. It is based on continuous field surveys and sample-based demographic tracking, in all states and Union Territories.
